American Teens and Technology

In response to the assembly we had at school just yesterday about responsibilty when it comes to technology, quite a few qualities of Amercian teenagers today stood out to me. I mean just by the fact that after the assembly almost every student in the kid was freaking out about what they've posted on facebook or texted to people in the past certainly proves something. American teenagers are so plugged in that they hardly remeber or realize that cyberspace is certianly no place for privacy. Now that we all now how 70 percent of college admissions officers check up on applicant's facebook profiles, I feel like some of us will be rethinking our actions on line. After all, it is like a streaming autobiography, and quite simply the unfortunate posts or pictures can not be magically erased. I definietly think we as American teenagers should try and stop the over use of all forms of technology, and go back to the old school way of communicating- face to face!
